Rod Wood: Detroit Lions will never give up Thanksgiving game

.......................


There's no excuse for the NFL to even consider asking the Lions to give up the annual Thanksgiving Day game. The evening Thanksgiving Day game provides the opportunity for other NFL teams other than the Lions and Cowboys to host a Thanksgiving Day game.

………………………………..


There's a couple of solutions to the Eagles concern:

1. The Lions and Cowboys also play road games on a Thursday earlier in a season.

2. Every other season the Lions and Cowboys play on the road on Thursday the week before Thanksgiving Day. Against opponents that would play on the road on Thanksgiving Day the following week.
